how bout i make minimum wage instead of 2.13 an hour. i don't understand this. its ok to tell me that i'll make more than min wage because of tips, but then they tell me that its rude to expect tips. i make my money, so thats not really an issue, but i think this hypocrisy within the system needs to be fixed.

it would have to be less hours or better environment.

stuff like money and a title is good for a day or so, but after that it's just the same job...every day...over and over, and it doesn't make tasks more enjoyable

it's not rude to expect tips, just to demand them.

if you're good to the customers, you'll make it up.

and quit yer b!tchin (this is coming from a former cook who despises wait staff, I'm assuming)

nope, i'm a waiter, and a pretty good one. i make my money as i stated before, but there are too many people out there who don't tip enough. i guess i just wish everyone knew tips are where we make our money. therefore making me more money.

Hey, I'm very sorry that the
government taxes their tips.
That's ****ed up. But that ain't
my fault. it would appear that
waitresses are just one of the
many groups the government ****s
in the ass on a regular basis.
You show me a paper says the
government shouldn't do that, I'll
sign it. Put it to a vote, I'll
vote for it. But what I won't do
is play ball. And this non-
college bullshit you're telling
me, I got two words for that:
"Learn to ****in type." Cause if
you're expecting me to help out
with the rent, you're in for a big
****in surprise.

i'm going to school, this is definently not how i'm spending the next 30 years of my life. what i'm sayin is there are people out there who don't tip enough no matter what. they'll ring up a $40+ tab, never have an empty drink, food comes out right and hot, and they leave 3 bucks. thats not even 10 percent, let alone the 15% i have to claim for taxes at the end of the night. so i'm getting taxed on money i didn't make.

Waiter....sounds like kcchiefsman 3 years ago.

I tip, depending on food and service. If either suck, your tip will be adjusted. Everyone possibly can't afford a 20% tip....smile and wait for the person that pays too much. I'll wager you don't complain about them.

While I'm at it...don't act like you're not pocketing tip money on the side and paying taxes on all of it. I doubt there is a waitress alive that doesn't do that.

Jobs like that suck by govt conspiracy, so you'll get motivated and get a grown up job.

Get a job. I don't feel responsible for paying somebody else's help. I do lots of extras for people and they never tip me a dime.

maybe they meant exchange the assh0les that suck to work with :hmmm:

and I think it would be a good thing to be surrounded by great workers.

depending on the industry, a great team gets rewarded, whereas a great worker on a sh!tty team can get lost in the sh!ttiness.

Off topic, but an acquaintance of mine has a company, and recently went out of the country for a while to do some volunteer work. After she left, her employees "voted" to go with a 4-10 schedule instead of a 5-8 schedule. Unbelievable. I haven't heard yet what happened when the owner got back, but if it was me, I would find out who did that and fire them the first day. "Hey, let's shut our company down one day a week and go home."

Lazy is bad enough, but these people knew that they shouldn't do it, and so they waited until the owner left and did it behind her back. Unbelievable.

Rain Man

02-16-2006, 05:15 PM

Oh, and by the way, I'm not in any way accusing Bearcat of laziness or malfeasance. Wanting it is an entirely different thing than implementing it for all of the employees the day after your boss leaves for a month, and shutting down the company one day a week.

(However, I don't know Bearcat, so it's possible that he actually is lazy and shiftless, so don't take the above paragraph to mean that I am serving as an employment reference for him.)

Idiots... if you're going to do it that way, you might as well go to four 8s until the boss comes back, and then tell her you voted to go with four 10s.
